SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD (Week 2)

Carroll told reporters this afternoon that defensive end Cliff Avril was close to getting on the field against Carolina, and is expected to be ready for Sunday's home opener against San Francisco if he makes it through practice this week.

"Cliff Avril is a good possibility if me makes it through the week," Carroll said. "He practice well enough last week, and he was very close to being able to play on Sunday.

"So we're planning on him being a part of it this week, unless he has some kind of setback we can't foresee. So that will be a nice little boost to get him back in the game."

Carroll said that Brandon Browner still had issues with his hamstring during pre-game warm-ups, and the hope is that he'll return to practice on Thursday. Browner remains a possibility to play against San Francisco.

"He ran hard in pre-game, but not full speed," Carroll said. "We want to make sure that we can get him back to full speed. He's in a track meet out there. So he has to have all of that going for him. He ran today. He's going to run tomorrow. And Wednesday we'll see how he does."

Defensive end Chris Clemons will get some reps with the team on Wednesday, but still might have to wait a couple weeks to get back on the field.

Personally, I think we should utilize the Packers gameplan for us against the Seacawks. Take away the run and have the DEs and OLBs contain Wilson to keep him from rolling out and force him to pass from the pocket. I think it works better on him, because he is so short that he can't see over the Linemens. You all notice all of Wilson's deep passes are from him rolling out or escaping the pocket. He can have all the time in the world in the pocket but if he can't see his Receivers he can't throw the ball, and eventually the pocket will collapse with him trapped inside. We should have Bowman spy on him just in case he escapes and try to run, all Bowman needs to do is watch the pocket and if there's an escape hole, he just gotta fill it and force Wilson to stay in the pocket. I think it'll frustrate him and throw him off of his game. Go Niners! Can't wait! Chhheeeeehhhhuuuuu!
